You sang with your guitar upon your lap,
a song you worried carried too much sap,
but like a tree draws life from sap within,
your sap brings life because its genuine.
Your sap may span the range from sad to happy,
and you have got a license to be sappy.
Guitars have frets, but you, friend, needn’t fret
for sappiness license you readily get,
for sap allowed to reach infinity,
as authorized by authenticity.
Your sap may span the range from sad to happy,
and you have got a license to be sappy.
Sap licenses won’t work to drive a car,
but nonetheless with one you can go far,
and you can bring a lot of passengers,
transported just by being listeners.
Your sap may span the range from sad to happy,
and you have got a license to be sappy.
